We are singing this for this year's holiday concert to bring awareness to the language which is in danger of extinction.
2019 is the UN International Year of Indigenous Languages.
There are less than10,000 people left in
the world who speak the Mi'kmaq language. Sixteen-year-old music student
Emma Stevens from Allison Bernard Memorial High School on East Cape Breton
Island performs the Beatles classic Blackbird in the Mi'kmaq language in order
to raise awareness that the language will soon be lost.
